    The post as show under Recent posts: The post shown in the thread: Posts shown in "Recent posts" show the underlying code involved. This is often seen with users making a thread introducing themselves.

    "Pun not intended" and "pun intended" strikes me as pointless phrases. How is the fact that a pun was intended or not supposed to affect the conversation?
  3. Luna the Great of all the Russias
    I was watching a video, mentioning something that happened in 2018, to which I thought "this happened recently". Then he emphasized that half a decade passed by since then.

    In most cases, when I see someone describe something as "INSANE", it is something that is only slightly interesting.

    I have a fondness for older media, but the habit of Youtubers to start their video as though they were playing a VHS tape is getting tiring, unless that introduction is fitting for the main topic of the video (e.g. something that is era-appropriate for when VHS was prominent).

    This may have been one of them:

    I remember many George W. Bush Flash animations and games from back then... far more than those related to Clinton and Obama.
  8. Luna the Great of all the Russias
    George W. Bush or related Flash games and animations.

    True. But X will probably become the most common, perhaps solely based on the fact that it requires less effort to say or type out "X" than "Twitter". Though, "to tweet" or "to retweet" a post sounds more sensible than... do they say "to X" or "to re-X" something?
  10. Luna the Great of all the Russias
    Though ridiculed initially, it is becoming increasingly common for people to no longer say "Twitter", but "X".

    I do not like books with small margins: it is difficult to write notes there.

    There is this video by a Youtuber named Doktor Skipper. What interested me was not whatever he had to say about Starfield, but the way the video was organized and edited. Scene changes, diversions, tangents, etc. are so common that the overall presentation strikes me as being frantic or erratic. I am reminded of this video that makes fun of this frantic editing style -- which must be a very tedious manner of editing -- which appears to only be a slight exaggeration of the truth. By comparison, I do not remember older Youtube videos, or videos of older Youtubers more generally, being presented in a manner where it seems like it is trying to pull you towards many different directions at once, instead of focusing on one point at a time. (Also, I wish there was a way to shrink embedded Youtube videos in a post to, say, half the size; as is, they make the post appear too long.)

    New drawing of Limestone. Based on the sketch I made about a month ago.

      Thank you.

    Yes. I have it already. I am amazed by how comprehensively Flash games have been preserved... some tens... hundreds of thousands? However, there were some Flash games that connected to servers. For example, several Xgen games had online or multiplayer functionality. I am assuming those games were likely not preserved.

    If willing, I would be interested to see your interpretation of Luna and Celestia in uniform (references below). Given that the uniform can be rather ornate -- hence time consuming to draw -- it can be as simple or as ornate as you prefer. I prefer an anthropomorphic depiction, but pony is also fine if you prefer that. No particular preference for pose and background except that it is generally appropriate for something like an official portrait.
  16. Luna the Great of all the Russias
    While I am rather happy that a very great number of Flash games have been preserved, I realized that Flash games that relied on server connection are very likely not preservable.

    In defense of e-readers, many of them do use E-Ink instead of a backlit screen; it really is as though you are reading paper. E-readers are more convenient than book at least in the sense that you can carry virtually unlimited books within one device. However, my preference for physical books is based on them being, well, physical. As many things are becoming digitized, it is nice to have some things that exist in their non-digitized format, particularly when many aspects of a book inherently cannot be translated into a digital format (e.g. there is no digital equivalent of a leatherbound book with thick gilded pages and "old paper smell"). A point I made numerous times before is that it is much nicer to see bookcases full of books instead of merely a list of books that you own: much nicer to glide the hand across the book spines than scrolling through the list of books that you own digitally (similar idea can also apply to music, games, etc.).

    Something I will add is that it is rather annoying when things are made excessively highly technological (or perhaps pseudo-technological). Companies that take, let us say, a blender, which works just fine on its own, and tries to incorporate Wi-Fi, phone application, a subscription service, voice functionality, blockchain technology and machine learning... because a blender is completely useless without those things, I suppose.

    Are there cases where you prefer older technology over new ones? For myself, I find that touch interfaces are excessively used. Of course, they are sensible for things like tablets, but buttons are far less prone to be finicky. Particularly for devices that do not use a screen of some sort, I would prefer buttons, dials, or any other physical controller to be used instead of using touch sensors, gestures, etc. whenever possible. O. I will also mentioned vintage toasters, which are superior to modern toasters, because the bread sinks inside the toaster automatically without the use of a lever.

    I do not often see a page that only contains footnotes (which began in the previous page)..
  21. Luna the Great of all the Russias
    Well... some thing I do not miss are the ~10 minute video length limit and low resolution. But it was definitely far more user-oriented, compared to the much more corporate character it has today.

    Early internet memories.

    An old drawing I found, when you often talked about wanting to become a cinnamon roll or something of the sort.

      I'm going to be "toast" at this rate!

    New drawing of Marble. Based on the sketch I posted nearly two weeks ago. I plan to eventually make a finished drawing based on the Limestone sketch I drew around that time.
